Trump: Putin agreed to week-long pause in Kyiv attacks due to extreme cold

  • Donald Trump claims Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a one-week halt in attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
  • The pause was requested by Trump due to extreme cold temperatures in Ukraine, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis.
  • Russian strikes have severely damaged Ukraine's power infrastructure, disrupting electricity, heating, and water supplies.
  • Ukraine's state weather agency warned of temperatures as low as minus 30°C, while authorities work to restore essential services.
  • Despite Trump's claims, there was no immediate response from the Kremlin, and Russian attacks killed six people elsewhere in Ukraine on Thursday.

Why It Matters: Trump states Putin agreed to a temporary halt in Ukraine attacks due to severe winter conditions.
